Market8 May 2034

Ikechukwu Madu asks to leave Abia Warriors

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad8 May 2034

Chukwuemeka Obioma stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Chukwuemeka Obioma and Abia Warriors agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad8 May 2034

Tempers go at Abia Warriors

Abubakar Bonni was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match6 May 2034

Bayelsa United take the points off Abia Warriors

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Bright Lookman gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout8 May 2034

Terem Okoye: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad8 May 2034

Words at Abia Warriors training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kenneth Obafemi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

When it matters, Emmanuel Jalai plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market8 May 2034

Chukwuemeka Obioma linked with a move away

The name of Chukwuemeka Obioma keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Abia Warriors say nothing, which says plenty.

The Abia Warriors Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match3 Apr 2034

Every point is an argument now for Abia Warriors

Position 18 and 7 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market3 Apr 2034

Calvin Olayinka hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Abia Warriors can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout3 Apr 2034

Aminu Ejuke keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Abia Warriors may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad3 Apr 2034

A falling-out at Abia Warriors

Abubakar Bonni and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad3 Apr 2034

Isaac Eguavoen signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Isaac Eguavoen and Abia Warriors agree another 3 years.

The dugout3 Apr 2034

Emmanuel Ogbuagu gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Emmanuel Ogbuagu is on it.

The dugout3 Apr 2034

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Terem Okoye chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Match1 Apr 2034

Abia Warriors draw a blank against El-Kanemi Warriors

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. El-Kanemi Warriors defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Market3 Apr 2034

The Emmanuel Ogbuagu talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Abia Warriors know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
